First: No "blockheads" (lack of pictures) and No Men. Sorry, but enough is enough. (sounding bitchy, huh?)

Note: friends and family get to see "more". You have to ask.

About me:

I'm a happily married crossdresser/transvestite living in in San Francisco. I've been dressing on and off for years and find great pleasure indulging my occasional urge to dress and "present" as a female. I'm Transbian, meaning I am not interested in meeting men.

I'm not exactly sure what started my "Venus Envy" but I clearly remember when I was a kid I was fascinated by the promotional pictures of the "female impersonators" posted outside the Drag bar that was in my neighborhood.

In college I studied art, a significant influence on me was Marcel Duchamp who was not only a notorious crossdresser but an incredible artist and enigma. See:Rose Sélavy, Man Ray (1921)

I've come to the conclusion that crossdressing is probably a *fetish for me. I'm both desirous and envious of the classic sex symbols of my formative years. Sophia Loren, Gina Lollabrigida, Brigitte Bardot, Rita Moreno, ect..

*Fetishistic Transvestites or Transvestic Fetishism

I think it’s an appropriate label for me, though many crossdressers are uncomfortable with the term “transvestite” for one reason or another. In my mind, “fetishistic transvestite” or fetishistic crossdresser defines an individual who receives sexual stimulation from the accouterments of femininity, in that there’s a link between his libido and presenting himself as female. it fits for me…
